Mr. Zheng changed his clothes again, and specially asked someone to bring a basin of towels, washed his hands and burned incense, and then looked at Li Shaoyang: "Mr. Baili, you don't smoke, right?" ”

Li Shaoyang doesn't smoke, but he carries cigarettes and lighters with him, and he takes them out and puts them aside when he hears the words. Master Gu also washed his hands, and after tossing this, Mr. Zheng untied the key from the chain in his waist and led them into the heart of the lake, outside the Taohuawu Library.

Although it is winter, the water of the artificial lake does not freeze, but has a feeling of rippling green waves. Mr. Zheng opened the door of the library, patted the dust on his body, and walked in gently.

The floor is dust-free, the bookshelves are quaint and dull, and the surroundings are quiet.

Taohuawu Library Building, is a model of high-rise buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, a total of six floors, all are four-bay houses, the first floor is all calligraphy and painting, most of them are famous works, more are Zheng Banqiao's works in the ancient books, and there are also some imitations of later generations to copy and engrave. Above the second floor is the real place to store books.

Like many ancient library buildings, the Taohuawu library is also classified according to the "subset of scriptures and history". The direction is also chosen to be the theory of four elephants, and each room is divided into two rooms, implying gossip changes, and it can be seen that the builder of this library building is very accomplished in this regard.

Most of the second floor is the scriptures, the so-called scriptures, that is, Confucian learning, which is very important in the Ming and Qing dynasties, is the examination of the eight strands of literature must learn things, but the Confucian things are just a few things, the collection of books, in addition to the thirteen classics, is more of the annotations and academic research of Confucian celebrities of all generations.

Li Shaoyang turned the ring, and through the coordinates and traces of Asimov's activities that Siser had investigated, he deduced that Asimov had come to the interior of the study building and climbed to a certain position on the sixth floor, so he only wanted to go to the sixth floor to have a look. But Mr. Zheng was very polite here to introduce various ancient books, so that he could only follow patiently.

The third floor is the history department, the official history, the other history, the history banknotes, the books, the mountains and rivers, the historic sites, the miscellaneous records, the travelogues...... Numerous.

Of course, the so-called collection of 10,000 volumes does not refer to tens of thousands of books, some ancient books have many volumes, such as the Song Book of Historical Records, hand-copied in full italics, plus scholars' notes and reading notes, it takes 132 volumes to transcribe it, so this historical record alone has more than 100 ancient books.

Ascend to the fourth floor, it is the sub-department, from this floor, you need to use the catalog to find the book, most of the sub-departments are the pre-Qin doctrines, not much circulation, so it only occupies a little space, the fourth, fifth, sixth and third floors are almost all the books of the "collection department".

The collection department includes a collection of poems and words, a collection of poems, etc., including five categories, such as Chu Ci, a separate collection, a general collection, a poetry commentary, and a song and song, but in this Taohuawu library, there are many more books, novels, stories, and similar ghost novels and other ancient books. There are even cave Xuanlu and Taoist scriptures, and even glamorous words.

To be honest, this is the ancient book that modern people love. When Li Shaoyang finally came to the sixth floor, he immediately walked to the third bookshelf.

These bookshelves are arranged vertically and horizontally, each with six layers, each neatly placed with books, and small labels underneath, along with the table of contents, so you can quickly find the books you want to read.

Li Shaoyang wandered in front of the third bookshelf, where Asimov had infiltrated, he was in the library, he must have been looking for a book.

Asimov's program definitely does not have information on ancient Chinese texts, and he may not even be able to understand ancient texts, although he was upgraded to artificial intelligence by Nuwa, but the knowledge of the Internet is of little use in front of ancient Chinese texts, even if he can find the meaning of each ancient text, but the combined artistic conception of ancient texts, he does not understand.

So Asimov may have gotten the information he needed about the ancient books in advance, so he can just come here and flip through them directly.

Artificial intelligence can sneak in silently, and it can also erase all traces of its existence, but he doesn't understand the maintenance of ancient books and the details of the collection, and he will definitely leave flaws.

Li Shaoyang glanced at it, and then asked Mr. Zheng: "Don't blame the old man, I want to ask you to see if this part of the book is missing?" ”

Mr. Zheng was taken aback, hurriedly walked over, looked at it carefully for a while, and then shook his head: "No, all the books are there, I have spent more than ten years in this library, although I haven't read all of them, but I know everything about each book." ”

Li Shaoyang nodded, and said in his heart that Asimov did not steal the book, because he was afraid of causing an uproar.

With Asimov's abilities, copying a book is too simple.

Li Shaoyang pointed to the bookshelf and said, "Then the old gentleman can take a look, has anyone touched the book?" ”

Mr. Zheng became more and more surprised, and his eyes became fierce: "Wait, Mr. Baili, forget it, I know this is your pseudonym, your real name is Li Shaoyang, so Mr. Li Shaoyang, what are your intentions in coming to my library?" Why must someone have touched this book? ”

Li Shaoyang was helpless, this situation was the last thing he wanted to see, he didn't want to use his heart and mind, but now he ......

Li Shaoyang met Mr. Zheng's eyes, and the mind technique was activated, this kind of ability that can temporarily control people's minds, he feels very awkward every time he uses it, but he has to use it.

This time it was really a little wrong, Mr. Zheng's eyes were bright, his body stood straight, and an invisible aura came to his face, and he looked at Li Shaoyang's eyes for a long time, and he snorted: "Mr. Li, the so-called evil is invincible, don't think about using any evil magic!" ”

Li Shaoyang's eyes were barely retracted, and he was sweating behind his back, if the mental art failed, it was possible to be countered by the other party, but fortunately, Mr. Zheng was upright and had no bad intentions.

Li Shaoyang's face returned to calm: "Old man, I am not an evil person, I just don't want you to get involved in right and wrong, but your old man's cultivation is good." ”

Mr. Zheng has been experienced for a long time, and when he heard this, he said: "I don't know any spells, but I have read through the thousands of scrolls of the Dao Collection, and I also know that the essence is transformed into a god, and the mind is the spirit, if my mind is correct, you can't do it to me." ”

After he finished speaking, his eyes were still cold: "I'm not afraid of right and wrong, I'm only afraid of villains, Mr. Li or tell me, what happened to my library?" ”

Gu Shishi was a little nervous from the side, and quietly pulled Li Shaoyang, which means that this is someone's library.

Li Shaoyang waved his hand: "You take a look first, I can guarantee that a book has been touched." ”

Mr. Zheng walked to the bookshelf, looked at it carefully for a while, couldn't help but be surprised, picked up an ancient book and said: "This book has indeed been moved, this is the Song book, a rare rare book." In the Ming Dynasty, Gusu Xiucai Wu Shanchang once made annotations. The middle seam page originally had a seal, but now it ......"

His face turned angry: "Someone stole this page!" ”

Li Shaoyang was also taken aback, he still thought wrong, Asimov directly stole one of the pages, which must be a key page.

Li Shaoyang strode over and looked at the title of the book, but it was "Taihu Quartet".

This is written by the ancient legend of Taihu Lake, written by Li Mingshan, a famous scholar in Jiangyin in the Song Dynasty, there are not many texts, but there are many annotations.

Legends about Taihu Lake, why did Asimov steal this?

Li Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "What is written on this stolen page?" ”

Mr. Zheng muttered: "That's a page of map, it's an ethereal legend, I didn't expect someone to take it seriously and sneak in......"

When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed greatly: "It turns out that this is the case, it is this thief who made me have to sell the garden." ”

Li Shaoyang sighed: "It turns out that you sell this garden, there is really something unspeakable. ”

Mr. Zheng touched the ancient book for a long time before he said: "Mr. Li, this matter is confusing, it has always been my heart disease, since you know that someone has stolen my book, then you should know about this thief?"

Li Shaoyang nodded: "That's a foreigner, tall and knowledgeable, but his origin is very peculiar, I can't say it for the time being." ”

Mr. Zheng patted his thigh: "The feng shui gentleman who asked me to sell the garden is a foreign Taoist priest, just like you described, that is, he is tall and knowledgeable." ”

The two looked at each other, both puzzled, and Mr. Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go outside and talk about it." ”
